vice presidential choices

Not a really serious poll. Just assume for a moment that he runs and gets nominated. Who will it be?

A lot of speculations, a lot of leaks with oppo research on the various candidates. But who will it be? My guess is that conventional wisdom (and betting markets) are right for once: Biden will pick Kamala Harris. Time for a forum poll ...

Not going to do a poll because I probably don't know enough names to suggest. If you do, go for it. First, I think it's a safe bet that they'll go for some diversity. With all the remaining viable candidates being old, that certainly means it'll be someone younger. Probably a minority and/or...

https://nypost.com/2020/02/15/as-bloombergs-vp-hillary-clinton-could-get-revenge-against-trump-goodwin/ The report that Hillary Clinton could become Michael Bloomberg’s running mate is one of those times when it is no exaggeration to use the word bombshell. Earthquake would also work, assuming...

At least we now know who is going to decide Trumps punishment for women who have abortions

Who do you think will be Hillary Clinton's Running Mate?

I am going to bypass the presidential thread and move onto what really matters. Democrats- Castro from Texas Republicans- Rand Paul

Marsha Blackburn should be Romney’s VP pick. She is the logical choice if he hopes to win the election. Being a woman, a conservative, a southerner, an evangelical and opposed to Obamacare she is exactly what is needed to compliment the ticket. Comments please.

Ah, it's time to start the speculation on the VP race. I was inspired by C. Christie putting out the green light to W. "M." Romney that he's ready to be asked. http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1211/70793.html The idea here is to list the VP Maybes even though the GOP nominee is yet to be...

Does anyone here think that Obama will (or at least seriously consider to) drop Biden and take Hillary back? Not that it will happen exactly as I just described, but that something will allow Biden to drop-out with full dignity --- and for Obama as well.

McCain was already slowly gaining,,,if not leading BO before the DNC. Chosing Palin was such a brilliant move that I cannot beleive a politician thought of it. It would have been my choice too, but I knew they were not smart enought to try it. Now its checkmate... I predict that Palin will...

Pick and rank 5 candidates on each side. Five points are awarded if your top pick is the VP, 4 for your second pick, etc. Tiebreaker goes to the person who submitted their final picks earlier.

Crist getting hitched It's a shame that marital status is seen as a possible deal-breaker for a VP candidate. Is this politically motivated? It seems odd that a man would finally decide at age 51 that he wants to be married. Not impossible, but the timing and circumstances suggest an...

Bob Beckel makes pretty strong case for why Obama should pick Hillary to fill out his ticket. I tend to agree. The alleged downsides (such as she will mobilize the right: they'll be mobilized anyway) are overrated, and the upsides outweigh them.

If John McCain picks a woman as a running mate there's a good chance that it might be one of the following three ladies profiled in this article by Politico. Sarah Palin, Governor of Alaska Kay Bailey Hutchison, Senator from Texas Carly Fiorina, former CEO of Hewlet-Packard Regarding Sarah...

Enough about the Democrats for a little while. What about the Republicans? McCain of course, but who would be the ideal running mate? Not from the point of view of who would be most desirable in a general, but who would maximize McCain's chances of winning? Contingency question: Does the...

At the end of Senator John McCain's primary victory speech tonight, a band struck up Chuck Berry's "Johnny By Goode" as he left the stage. Is Johnny gonna be good? His path to this point hasn't always been marked by stellar. Maybe good is enough. But what is good enough? When I was a...

From now on out, the Huckster is no more than a footnote to the campaign so it's time to flesh out the Republican ticket. I'll go first. McCain has admitted that he is weak on the economy, which is going to be a big issue in the campaign. So he needs some money chops, which leads me to...

You may have forgotten, but a man named Dick Gephardt ran in the democrat primaries. Overshadowed by the fiery passion of Howard Dean, Gephart started a beet red line of rhetoric of his own calling president Bush a miserable failure with a sullen look and looking out of character for someone...
